Is the newly elected mayor of Millville the same Mike Santiago who coached the Millville Little League all-star team in the City Series when Mike Trout was playing for the opposition?

The coach who used smoke and mirrors to take the series to a fifth game before the hard throwing Trout came on in relief from shortstop?

And the same Mike Santiago who coached that all-star team to the City Series win the year before?

Can’t be.

Let’s see how a rescue mission evolved elsewhere.

The St. Vincent de Paul parishioner stepped up right away when the parish announced plans to host Reach Out, a Catholic Community Services overnight men’s shelter, during December.

“When I go home at night to my fat bed, furnace and refrigerator full of food, I feel blessed, and the men know there are people who care about them,” said Mortimer, who has led a food team and been an evening host at the shelter.

From November through March, the Reach Out shelter provides a place where 18-20 homeless men can eat a warm meal and spend the night. In the morning, they get a simple breakfast and a sack lunch to carry them through the day.

The shelter site rotates among several churches in Federal Way, but this the first time it is being hosted by one of the city’s two Catholic parishes. Neighboring St. Theresa Parish is pitching in with meals the second half of the month.

For Father Bill McKee, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul, service to the poor should always be a priority — especially given the parish’s namesake, who discarded worldly ambitions to serve God by helping the poor, the sick and the enslaved. “When we serve the poor, we serve Christ,” Father McKee said. “The poor help us because we are trying to be like Christ ourselves.”

Finding 120 volunteers from St. Vincent’s to prepare balanced meals and provide services for the men (women are housed at another local church) each night hasn’t been a hurdle. Mark Miloscia, the parish’s interim pastoral assistant for outreach, started recruiting in September and ran out of volunteer slots by November.
